As the avalanche control booms pierce the morning air, folk crowd the city shuttles for the first screenings of the day. Mad Moviegoer heads to the Park City high school theater aka Eccles for “Celeste and Jesse” forever. Rashida Jones stars and also cowrote the script. Talented Lee Toland Krieger directed. His mean but measured “The Vicious Kind” played the Starz Denver Film Fest in 2009. Funny guy Andy Shamberg also stars.

Lisa Kennedy has been The Denver Post film critic for quite a spell. The job returned her to the town she grew up in after 20 years of living elsewhere: mostly in New York City. During the time she's been back, she was voted into the National Society of Film Critics, a first for a Colorado reviewer. When she began Diary of a Mad Moviegoer, she wasn't just cribbing from Tyler Perry. In fact, she seldom goes all Madea on movies, thinking the gig is more like a conversation than a competition about who's right about which flick.
